The Dayton Printmakers Cooperative

Thank you to the Ohio Arts Council!

The Dayton Printmakers Cooperative print facility is located on the second floor of a building which houses several other artist studio spaces, restrooms, a small kitchen, and a freight elevator.  Entrance to the building and to the studio is secure and available to members with key access. A ramp to the freight elevator makes DPC wheelchair accessible. The heated and air conditioned (1025 square foot) space includes a wall of windows providing north light and is broken into two areas; one for screen printing and the other area for relief, lithography and intaglio printing.
